Within the U.S. there are all manner of fascinating sights to see and places to visit. For those who consider themselves to be “foodies,” the U.S. is also home to several cities (or regions) that offer the most interesting and delicious foods to try. These are a few of the top choices for food travelers to visit by private jet charter.
1) New Orleans
You can hardly even contemplate foodie destinations within the U.S. without bringing the Big Easy into the conversation. It’s not just one cuisine that makes this a must-visit city for any food lover. It’s three: New Orleans is a haven for those interested in Cajun, Creole, and soul food.

- Gumbo
- Shrimp or Crawfish Etouffée
- Shrimp Remoulade

2) San Francisco
Seafood is on the menu at Fisherman’s Wharf in San Francisco. While others are heading east for clam chowder, you’ll want your private charter jet to bring you out west instead.

If you’re able to swing a trip to San Francisco proper for a day or more, you’ll have the option of dining at even more restaurants, thanks to the more than 3,000 restaurants the city by the bay call home, some of them featured in epicurean publications the world over.

Rather than a city, the Lowcountry is more of a region – the coastal regions of South Carolina and Georgia. Included in the region are cities like Savannah and Charleston.

Flights into Charlotte Monroe Executive Airport, Charlotte Douglas International Airport, and Concord Regional Airport make it convenient to taste the difference for yourself.
